post.inline_comment.created

Fired when an inline comment (text-anchored comment) is added to a post. One event per comment, including replies in a thread.

All webhook payloads follow a consistent top-level structure with event-specific data nested within the data object. Inline comments attach to specific text in a post—this event fires for each new comment or reply in a thread.
